At the Chen family in Yi County, it was already one o'clock in the morning when Xiao Yuan found Chen Fusheng.

In the face of Xiao Yuan's visit again, Chen Fusheng was already able to treat it calmly and did not show any surprise.

Looking at Xiao Yuan, he asked bluntly: "Brother Xiao, there must be something big about coming to the Chen family so late, you say it directly, I will definitely help you do it." ”

"The Chen family can have its current status in Yi County, Brother Xiao, you are indispensable."

"I, Chen Fusheng, am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, and I will definitely help if I can help!

"Thanksgiving?" Hearing these words, Xiao Yuan directly showed a self-deprecating expression.

Then he said: "I believe Chief of Staff Chen, but there have been a lot of strange faces around me recently, and for safety, I asked people to check, and it turned out that these people are all from the Imperial Association Army Guard Company." ”

"I believe that this matter must have nothing to do with Chief of Staff Chen. But for my own safety, I had to fight back. ”

"The first thing I did when I came over tonight was to remind Chief of Staff Chen that early tomorrow morning, you will receive the news that the commander of the guard company died outside, please ask Chief of Staff Chen to get ready and think about the successor of the commander of the guard company in advance."

Chen Fusheng was shocked, and his face instantly became gloomy.

Xiao Yuan can find out his henchmen, the commander of the guard company, and he will definitely be able to find himself.

But he only attacked the commander of the guard company, and he also made a special trip to tell himself about it, obviously to set an example for the chickens and monkeys, and warned himself not to do anything to cross the river and tear down the bridge, otherwise their next assassination target would be himself.

gasped and quickly cleared up the relationship: "It must be the commander of the guard company who investigated Brother Xiao privately behind my back, and this kind of ungrateful person must be killed." ”

"Tomorrow I will choose someone to take over the position of company commander."

Speaking of this, Chen Fusheng obviously wanted to ease the relationship between the two sides, and continued as if he had reciprocated the favor.

"Brother Xiao, what else is there besides this matter? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you complete it. ”

That's the deal.

Chen Fusheng is a smart man, and he must know why he knew that he did this and didn't tell him, and then he wanted to do something to repair the rift and mistrust that had arisen between the two sides.

Since this is the case, Xiao Yuan was not polite, and replied directly: "I want to ask Chief of Staff Chen to cooperate with us to take the county seat of Yixian." ”

"What?" Chen Fusheng's eyes immediately widened, revealing an incredibly shocked expression.

Then his head shook like a rattle, and without hesitation, he vetoed: "Impossible." ”

"I know Brother Xiao, you are the Eighth Route Army, if the county seat of Yixian County is occupied by your Eighth Route Army, how can I, Chen, be the emperor of the soil in Yixian."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if your Eighth Route Army lets me go, the Japanese will not let me go, and I will definitely be held accountable for defending the city."

"When the time comes, don't say that you will continue to serve as the chief of staff of the Imperial Cooperative Army, it will be a problem whether you can survive or not."

Xiao Yuan replied calmly: "Since Chief of Staff Chen, you have already seen it, then I will not hide it." ”

"You're right, I'm indeed the Eighth Route Army."

"As for assisting us in taking the county seat of Yixian, you have to help."

Seeing that Chen Fusheng was about to open his mouth to refuse, Xiao Yuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued.

"And I can tell you for sure: doing this favor will only do you good, not harm."

"In addition, the Japanese will not only not hold you accountable, but will also reward you, and if you don't get this chief of staff hat on your head, you will become a regiment commander, or even a brigade commander."

Chen Fusheng vetoed with a disbelieving expression: "This is impossible. ”

"Yixian County is lost, the Japanese are lucky not to kill me, how can they reward me and give me a promotion."

"I said it could be!" Xiao Yuan replied confidently.

"Chief of Staff Chen, don't be in a hurry first, listen to what I have to say."

"Our Eighth Route Army's attack on Yi County this time is not to control the county seat of Yi County, but to get the grain in the county seat."

"So we don't need to completely occupy the county."

"As long as we get food, we will retreat, and the guilt of losing the county seat of Yixian will not exist."

"In addition, we can also agree on an area without food in advance, after Yi County is breached, Chief of Staff Chen, you will immediately lead troops into this area to defend it to the death."

"Our Eighth Route Army will cooperate with Chief of Staff Chen, continue to launch feints in this area, and play a posture that cannot be attacked for a long time, and when the time comes, we will retreat, Chief of Staff Chen, you take the opportunity to counterattack and control the county seat of Yixian."

"At that time, not only will you not need to bear the responsibility of Yi County being attacked, but you will also be regarded as a hero who defends Yi County by the little devils."

"The promotion of the chief of staff of the regiment to the commander of the regiment must be as easy as picking up something."

"If you are lucky enough, because of this battle, the Japanese will realize that there are too many troops defending the city in Yixian, and take the opportunity to expand a regiment of the Imperial Association Army into a brigade, then Chief of Staff Chen, you will be the brigade commander."

This time, Chen Fusheng did not immediately refute Xiao Yuan's proposal, but wrinkled his brows and fell into deep thought.

The pie that Xiao Yuan had drawn for himself was too big, and the whole thing didn't sound like a big deal

At this time, Xiao Yuan continued to speak: "In addition, after assisting our Eighth Route Army to take Yi County, our Eighth Route Army will also remember Chief of Staff Chen's great achievement. ”

"The truth of not hanging yourself from a tree should be clearer than I should be able to do so."

"This Sino-Japanese war has been fought for so long, our squadron is getting stronger and stronger, and the Japanese are weakened more, Chief of Staff Chen should be able to see it."

"Don't you want to leave yourself a way out?"

This sentence touched Chen Fusheng the most.

There was obviously a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

He didn't know whether the Japanese would lose this Sino-Japanese war, but he knew the current situation of the Japanese army.

Year after year, the size of the anti-Japanese army not only did not decrease, but on the contrary, it became more and more fought.

The Eighth Route Army, which was active in North China, is the best proof of this.

From tens of thousands of people at the beginning to hundreds of thousands now, the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the base areas under control are also increasing.

On the other hand, under the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the occupied area continued to shrink, and even many places where the Japanese army could only hold the county seat.

As for the soldiers that the Japanese are most proud of, the soldiers who went to the battlefield a few years ago were all well-trained veterans, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, and it was not a problem for one person to fight four or five Chinese soldiers.

Now, the soldiers of the supplementary troops are all recruits who have been trained for several months, and their combat effectiveness is very weak, and they are getting younger and younger.

If this trend continues, the Japanese will be defeated, and the only thing that cannot be determined is the time of defeat.

If the Japanese really lose, he, as a minion of the Japanese, will definitely be held accountable.

So Xiao Yuan reminded him that it was right: while he continued to improve his status, it was time to leave a way back for himself.
